28
00:01:48,413 --> 00:01:49,373
Speaker 5: Look, I'm going to be honest.

29
00:01:49,413 --> 00:01:51,133
Speaker 7: I love the beginning of this film, and the beginning

30
00:01:51,133 --> 00:01:52,573
Speaker 7: of this film is what you just heard on the

31
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:53,253
Speaker 7: trainer there with.

32
00:01:53,453 --> 00:01:56,773
Speaker 5: This with this character played by Michael Keaton called.

33
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:59,773
Speaker 7: Ay Goodrich, who is a workaholic art dealer, gets a

34
00:01:59,773 --> 00:02:01,813
Speaker 7: call from his wife to tell him I've gone to

35
00:02:01,853 --> 00:02:03,573
Speaker 7: rehab and he's like, what do you mean you don't

36
00:02:03,613 --> 00:02:07,293
Speaker 7: drink that much? And she's like, no, addicted to pills

37
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:10,093
Speaker 7: and he's like, what, No, you're not. And then he

38
00:02:10,293 --> 00:02:12,053
Speaker 7: kind of wakes up in the next one and going.

39
00:02:12,293 --> 00:02:14,133
Speaker 7: He drives up to see her, she won't see him.

40
00:02:14,173 --> 00:02:16,613
Speaker 7: He comes home, he's got these two nine year old twins.

41
00:02:17,093 --> 00:02:19,933
Speaker 7: He sat sort of mentioning to other people, I don't

42
00:02:19,933 --> 00:02:20,733
Speaker 7: know what's happened.

43
00:02:20,773 --> 00:02:22,773
Speaker 5: Nomi's gone to rehab, and they're like, oh.

44
00:02:22,693 --> 00:02:24,893
Speaker 7: Yeah, everybody else knows everyone else.

45
00:02:25,133 --> 00:02:26,853
Speaker 5: It was not a surprising one him.

46
00:02:27,253 --> 00:02:29,213
Speaker 7: And it's such a great setup because it tells you

47
00:02:29,253 --> 00:02:31,453
Speaker 7: so much about this character that we're about to go

48
00:02:31,493 --> 00:02:33,013
Speaker 7: on this journey with. It tells you that he is

49
00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:35,373
Speaker 7: a workaholic, He is not present in anyone's lives.

50
00:02:35,413 --> 00:02:36,973
Speaker 5: He has no idea what is even happening in his

51
00:02:37,013 --> 00:02:37,773
Speaker 5: own home.

52
00:02:37,973 --> 00:02:39,893
Speaker 7: Or with his wife, and it's just it's a It

53
00:02:40,013 --> 00:02:42,093
Speaker 7: was a really clever way of setting this film up.

54
00:02:42,573 --> 00:02:44,453
Speaker 7: I think they do quite a decent job with this

55
00:02:44,493 --> 00:02:45,893
Speaker 7: film of what I thought was going to be.

56
00:02:45,933 --> 00:02:49,533
Speaker 5: Quite a formulaic family drama. But it surprised me by

57
00:02:49,573 --> 00:02:51,453
Speaker 5: only giving me half.

58
00:02:51,173 --> 00:02:55,653
Speaker 7: The fairy tale Hollywood ending that I thought that I

59
00:02:55,693 --> 00:03:01,773
Speaker 7: was going to get, and not everything works out, you know, perfectly,

60
00:03:01,893 --> 00:03:05,213
Speaker 7: And actually that's really satisfying in this film, because of

61
00:03:05,213 --> 00:03:06,373
Speaker 7: course life is messy, isn't it.

62
00:03:06,453 --> 00:03:09,933
Speaker 5: Nothing sort of works out perfectly. Michael Keaton is absolutely

63
00:03:09,933 --> 00:03:11,453
Speaker 5: fabulous in this film.

64
00:03:11,533 --> 00:03:13,293
Speaker 7: He's sort of at this age where he can pull

65
00:03:13,333 --> 00:03:17,333
Speaker 7: off being he's on his second or third marriage second,

66
00:03:17,373 --> 00:03:19,853
Speaker 7: I think, and you know, he's got an older daughter,

67
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:21,933
Speaker 7: Grace played by Melaicuna, so who he kind of.

68
00:03:21,893 --> 00:03:23,133
Speaker 5: Pulls in to help him out.

69
00:03:23,613 --> 00:03:25,293
Speaker 7: She's gone a lot of issues about the fact that

70
00:03:25,333 --> 00:03:28,853
Speaker 7: he was completely absent dad. He's got these two young

71
00:03:28,973 --> 00:03:32,933
Speaker 7: twins who are just absolutely fantastic and wonderfree, wonderfull, is

72
00:03:32,973 --> 00:03:36,173
Speaker 7: sort of precocious, and he doesn't really have anything to

73
00:03:36,173 --> 00:03:37,813
Speaker 7: do with them. So suddenly he's part of their day

74
00:03:37,813 --> 00:03:39,773
Speaker 7: to day lives, and he says something to them. He

75
00:03:39,773 --> 00:03:42,133
Speaker 7: says to the daughter something about something she says and

76
00:03:42,293 --> 00:03:43,933
Speaker 7: how Ala it is, and she just looks at him

77
00:03:43,933 --> 00:03:45,533
Speaker 7: and says something along the lines of, you know what,

78
00:03:45,573 --> 00:03:48,693
Speaker 7: if you don't want me to talk like I'm from LA,

79
00:03:48,813 --> 00:03:49,893
Speaker 7: don't raise me in LA.

80
00:03:50,013 --> 00:03:50,573
Speaker 5: Like it.

81
00:03:50,693 --> 00:03:54,293
Speaker 7: There's really nice lines and things in here, But really

82
00:03:54,853 --> 00:03:57,893
Speaker 7: this is a film about whether a middle aged man

83
00:03:58,133 --> 00:04:01,013
Speaker 7: can kind of change his way, whether he can overcome

84
00:04:01,053 --> 00:04:04,453
Speaker 7: his self involvement, whether he can give people sort of time.

85
00:04:04,333 --> 00:04:08,773
Speaker 5: And nurture relationships. And yeah, I was. I was pleasantly surprised.

86
00:04:08,773 --> 00:04:10,373
Speaker 5: I thought it was going to be very predictable.

87
00:04:10,613 --> 00:04:14,413
Speaker 7: It is kind of predictable, Jack, But actually I kind

88
00:04:14,413 --> 00:04:15,773
Speaker 7: of got drawn into it and enjoyed it.

89
00:04:15,813 --> 00:04:16,013
Speaker 6: Really.

90
00:04:16,573 --> 00:04:19,493
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, that sounds great, So that is good Rich.

91
00:04:19,613 --> 00:04:22,573
Speaker 3: That one is showing in cinemas at the moment. Next up,

92
00:04:22,613 --> 00:04:26,333
Speaker 3: this one is streaming on Prime Videos starting on Tuesday

93
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:26,853
Speaker 3: of this week.

94
00:04:26,893 --> 00:04:28,173
Speaker 4: This is Absolution.

95
00:04:29,053 --> 00:04:30,413
Speaker 7: I've been having these headaches.

96
00:04:30,773 --> 00:04:34,013
Speaker 6: Have you sustained concussions over the course of your life?

97
00:04:34,173 --> 00:04:39,453
Speaker 7: You could say that just tell me what I need

98
00:04:39,493 --> 00:04:40,013
Speaker 7: to get better.

99
00:04:40,653 --> 00:04:47,173
Speaker 6: There is no treatment this is your grandfather, Mark is

100
00:04:47,213 --> 00:04:50,813
Speaker 6: your in prison for not walking away?

101
00:04:52,453 --> 00:04:54,173
Speaker 2: That is Liam mason.

102
00:04:56,893 --> 00:04:57,493
Speaker 6: Last action.

103
00:05:00,253 --> 00:05:02,453
Speaker 7: Yeah, because he's seventy to now, and he's kind of

104
00:05:02,493 --> 00:05:04,373
Speaker 7: decided that, you know, really to be able to pull

105
00:05:04,413 --> 00:05:06,573
Speaker 7: it off and for it to local think he's probably

106
00:05:06,613 --> 00:05:08,533
Speaker 7: an age and stage now where he's going.

107
00:05:08,613 --> 00:05:10,373
Speaker 3: But I feel like, isn't it a strick that he

108
00:05:10,413 --> 00:05:12,533
Speaker 3: always like He's always like, uh, you know.

109
00:05:13,133 --> 00:05:14,733
Speaker 4: I've had a few bumps and scrapes over the.

110
00:05:14,813 --> 00:05:17,333
Speaker 3: Years, and I can't run as fast as I used

111
00:05:17,333 --> 00:05:18,693
Speaker 3: to it, but I can still shoot straight.

112
00:05:19,693 --> 00:05:21,693
Speaker 7: Look at all the age just doesn't beieve he should

113
00:05:21,693 --> 00:05:23,693
Speaker 7: do anything he wanted any time, you know. And he

114
00:05:23,733 --> 00:05:25,533
Speaker 7: does have a great stunt person, but he does do

115
00:05:25,573 --> 00:05:27,693
Speaker 7: a lot of his own fight scenes and things like

116
00:05:27,733 --> 00:05:29,733
Speaker 7: that as well, and he probably, to be honest with you,

117
00:05:30,133 --> 00:05:32,613
Speaker 7: there are some good boxing scenes in this film, and

118
00:05:32,653 --> 00:05:33,493
Speaker 7: I was a little bit.

119
00:05:33,413 --> 00:05:35,213
Speaker 5: Worried about him, but then I'm worried about anyone in

120
00:05:35,213 --> 00:05:37,933
Speaker 5: the boxing room. Look, both the.

121
00:05:37,813 --> 00:05:40,293
Speaker 7: Films that I'm talking about today feat your middle aged

122
00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:43,693
Speaker 7: men kind of reflecting on their lives. This one, though,

123
00:05:44,053 --> 00:05:48,293
Speaker 7: is a bit more meandering, a little bit more brooding.

124
00:05:48,413 --> 00:05:50,853
Speaker 7: If you were going to go and see Liam Nissan

125
00:05:50,933 --> 00:05:54,253
Speaker 7: in this film, where he plays a very old school gangster.

126
00:05:54,533 --> 00:05:55,893
Speaker 5: He looks like he's from the seventies.

127
00:05:55,893 --> 00:05:57,453
Speaker 7: The film makes she feels like it could have been

128
00:05:57,453 --> 00:05:59,453
Speaker 7: made in the seventies a little bit as well. And

129
00:05:59,493 --> 00:06:02,613
Speaker 7: then don't go for the action because this is actually

130
00:06:02,733 --> 00:06:07,973
Speaker 7: quite a slow, brooding, reflective film as opposed to that

131
00:06:08,133 --> 00:06:11,253
Speaker 7: sort of you know, sexy, quick bang bang kind of thriller.

132
00:06:13,973 --> 00:06:16,253
Speaker 5: So just putting that out there for you.

133
00:06:17,053 --> 00:06:20,853
Speaker 7: It's a film that kind of takes a look at

134
00:06:21,613 --> 00:06:23,013
Speaker 7: broken relationships once again.

135
00:06:23,093 --> 00:06:25,093
Speaker 5: He's got a very dysfunctional relationship with his daughter.

136
00:06:25,133 --> 00:06:27,333
Speaker 7: He discovers he's got ct which I didn't think could

137
00:06:27,333 --> 00:06:28,773
Speaker 7: be diagnosed until he actually died.

138
00:06:29,133 --> 00:06:31,213
Speaker 5: Anyway, he's got a terrible dementia and he knows it

139
00:06:31,733 --> 00:06:32,093
Speaker 5: too long.

140
00:06:32,173 --> 00:06:36,213
Speaker 7: Ye yes, yeah, yeah, gets get in the way.

141
00:06:36,533 --> 00:06:40,373
Speaker 3: It was so believable otherwise anyway, sorry they say that.

142
00:06:40,493 --> 00:06:44,253
Speaker 7: Anyway, moving on, So he's trying to sort of maybe

143
00:06:44,533 --> 00:06:47,653
Speaker 7: repair damage that's done and try to stop sort of

144
00:06:47,733 --> 00:06:50,053
Speaker 7: the cycles of violence that has gone through his family

145
00:06:50,093 --> 00:06:52,293
Speaker 7: and leave a legacy to his grandchildren. But the other

146
00:06:52,333 --> 00:06:54,933
Speaker 7: world is a very hard place to leave, and so

147
00:06:55,733 --> 00:06:57,493
Speaker 7: he kind of gets a little bit stuck in there.

148
00:06:57,573 --> 00:07:00,093
Speaker 5: I think Liam Leson elevates this material.

149
00:07:00,213 --> 00:07:02,413
Speaker 7: I think they've got the tone and the pacing not

150
00:07:02,613 --> 00:07:04,093
Speaker 7: I don't think they've got the tone in the pacing

151
00:07:04,173 --> 00:07:05,333
Speaker 7: right for this film.

152
00:07:05,093 --> 00:07:07,853
Speaker 5: And what they were trying to achieve. But I'll always

153
00:07:07,893 --> 00:07:10,493
Speaker 5: sit and watch a little bit of Liam Nason. Also

154
00:07:10,533 --> 00:07:13,373
Speaker 5: stars Ron Pilman and Ross Fantastic.

155
00:07:13,453 --> 00:07:15,013
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, it does sound like a bit of fun,

156
00:07:15,093 --> 00:07:16,613
Speaker 3: and that's that's what it's all about.

157
00:07:16,613 --> 00:07:17,773
Speaker 4: So it's not fun.

158
00:07:17,853 --> 00:07:19,853
Speaker 3: Well you know what I mean though, it's like escapism,

159
00:07:19,973 --> 00:07:22,373
Speaker 3: you know, it's not Yeah, it's not funny.

160
00:07:23,133 --> 00:07:27,973
Speaker 4: A bit of escape, a bit of escapism anyway. Okay,

161
00:07:28,013 --> 00:07:29,413
Speaker 4: so there's absolution by the way. Friends.

162
00:07:29,533 --> 00:07:32,373
Speaker 3: Escape producer Libby Winning saw Wicked on Your Advice this week.

163
00:07:32,933 --> 00:07:35,813
Speaker 3: She said she enjoyed it, but she found it extremely long.

164
00:07:36,173 --> 00:07:38,493
Speaker 5: So she knows it's only one.

165
00:07:38,613 --> 00:07:39,813
Speaker 4: She knows it's only part one.

166
00:07:39,853 --> 00:07:41,773
Speaker 3: So she said she did not feel like Wicked the

167
00:07:41,813 --> 00:07:44,133
Speaker 3: whole story needed to be a five hour epoch.

168
00:07:44,333 --> 00:07:47,533
Speaker 4: So she agreed one hundred percent. Agrees with you. She

169
00:07:47,533 --> 00:07:48,533
Speaker 4: said they got point.

170
00:07:48,573 --> 00:07:49,973
Speaker 3: There were points in the film where she was like,

171
00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:52,173
Speaker 3: I really don't think this needs to be a song.

172
00:07:52,333 --> 00:07:54,333
Speaker 3: I think it could have just been one line or

173
00:07:54,333 --> 00:07:55,453
Speaker 3: a facial expression and that.

174
00:07:55,453 --> 00:07:57,413
Speaker 4: Would have covered us. But in Steve, we've got six minutes.

175
00:07:57,573 --> 00:07:59,093
Speaker 5: It will drag her.

176
00:07:59,173 --> 00:08:01,053
Speaker 7: I will drag her along to the part two pre

177
00:08:01,333 --> 00:08:03,373
Speaker 7: when it comes out, she'll be fizzing.

178
00:08:03,893 --> 00:08:06,733
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you so much. We will love catching

179
00:08:06,813 --> 00:08:09,573
Speaker 3: in next week. Francesca Rudkin. There those films again, good Rich.

180
00:08:09,933 --> 00:08:12,853
Speaker 3: That's the one showing in cinemas. The second one, Absolution,

181
00:08:13,013 --> 00:08:14,853
Speaker 3: is the one with Liam Neeson. So that is going

182
00:08:14,893 --> 00:08:17,253
Speaker 3: to be on Prime Video from Tuesday of this week.

183
00:08:17,293 --> 00:08:19,893
Speaker 3: And don't worry if you haven't scribbled them down quickly,

184
00:08:20,013 --> 00:08:22,573
Speaker 3: or you haven't typed a text message to yourself or
